<div><p>ProtectManager allows you to associate with vStores, disassociate from vStores, and delete file name extension filtering rules. When an operation is performed, the system scans the file systems of the vStore related to the operation to ensure that the operation is applied to all file systems of the vStore.</p>
<p>You need to log in to ProtectManager, choose <strong>Data Security</strong> &gt; <strong>Ransomware Protection</strong> &gt; <strong>File Interception</strong>, and locate the desired file name extension.</p>
